For two days, Baccarat will be discounting their delectable items up to 80% off. The only catch is that you have to drive to the brand's warehouse in New Jersey. But think of how many glasses you could buy if they ere just $32 a pop! TIn addition to barware, the sale will include vases, jewelry crystal decor and French China. We think discounts like that are reason enough to throw a party!

Since the glory days of Louis XVIII, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, and FDR, Baccarat's been the civilized world's premier source of fine art crystal, with wine glasses and Champagne flutes particularly beloved by two centuries of brides (and their mothers). Today, the traditional collections are counterbalanced by whimsical animal miniatures and showpiece works of the crystalmaker's art, like intricately cut sconces that rival Cinderella's disco ball, and the extraordinary Diva vase, which lies flat to receive sprawling bouquets.
